Funz, I wanna do it..I put on 2kg but happy la, been feasting for so many days..how to do it?

You go google info on intermittent fasting.

I am trying the 8/16 intermittent fasting. Starting breakfast late is easier for me than eating dinner early so I am eating my 1st meal only at around 12pm and last meal at 7pm. Thereafter, no more eating. Can drink though during the fasting hours. Of course not high calorie drinks but water, black tea, green tea, black coffee.

Of course all the sensible diet thing needs to be observed so your meals should still be lean protein, complex carbo and lots of greens. If you snack, stick to healthier choices. Just that you do not have to go to extremes in your diet. Just eat sensibly. Don't go gorging on high fat, high cal foods just because you are on this fast.

Not sure if it is a coincidence, weighed myself this morning, weight maintained but fats % went down even though I have not really been watching what I was eating over the last 2 days.

agree. most time at our age bracket - calories is the main culprit that cause various health issues /weight . Fats ,so long we are not dumping on high fatty food. , most should be fine.
that Keto diet is not for normal people unless one is v active n high exercise volume - we refer it as the caveman diet - need a lot of energy to go hunting then maybe without food for few days - high fats will caused blocked arteries risk

Not sure where would be appropriate to post this but would like to share a personal experience.


Late last week, I thought I had mild food poisoning or stomach flu. On Sunday, my tummy-ache had gotten worse (already 3rd day) so I went to see my GP and was told I need to undergo a surgery immediately and I should head down to A&E straight away as GP suspected it was a case of appendicitis. I cried when I heard this as I had phobia entering the operating theater.

Was deciding between TTSH and Mt E Novena but decided to go for the latter since I am covered by medical insurance. I waited like 20 mins at A&E before going for a CT scan. Scan showed that it was not appendicitis but colon inflammation cos it was all swelled up (with pus).

So I celebrated my CNY in the hospital receiving antibiotics drips non stop.

Conclusion, when you or your family members feel a sharp pain on the right side of the abdomen with the intensity getting worse, don’t delay treatment. Be it appendicitis or colon inflammation, both can rupture anytime and could be life threatening.

Glad that u r ok now. What are the possible causes of colon inflammation?

[lee_yl]

I am scheduled to go back for a blood test next week and also to do a colon scope in 2 weeks time. TBH, I am pretty scared!


Good question. The doctor can’t say for sure what is the cause. The first question he asked me was whether I have a family history of colon cancer, which I thought Death had come knocking at my door! Lol.

The doctor further shared that once women hit 40yo and above, anything can go haywire. It could be as simple as some waste that got stuck along the colon and got infected to cause inflammation. Or due to contaminated food that started breeding bacteria. Hard to say
